Netted Male (2020) Painting by Polina Turgunova

Based in Almaty (Kazakhstan), where I live and work. However, I was born in Shymkent (Kazakhstan). I studied in a local art school for a year. Graduated from a high school in the USA, studied in the American University abroad (Art minor). I always had art classes, as they were my escape from other studies. And I learned from professors/teachers from different countries, with different styles, approaches and ideas. I love nature and I love painting/drawing it: from flowers and insects to various animals (and even people). I prefer dry materials like dry pastels, liners, colored pencils, etc., but I also love the unpredictability of watercolor painting. It gives me joy to discover and learn new ways, techniques and materials. But with every painting/drawing I seek to improve my skills and try to express myself better.
